Important Questions on Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

EASY
Which one of the following molecules is expected to exhibit paramagnetic behaviour?
EASY
After understanding the assertion and reason, choose the correct option.

Assertion: In the bonding molecular orbital (MO) of H 2 , electron density is increased between the nuclei.
Reason: The bonding MO is ψA+ψB , which shows destructive interference of the combining electron waves.
